The Poems of

Bad Girl

I'm a bad girl
Oh yes, I am
Don't mess with me
Or you'll get slammed
I'm real bad news
Heartless and mean
All the bad guys
Call me their queen
When I walk in
All talking stops
And you can hear
If a pin drops
They wait and see
What I will do
Not moving til
I tell them to
If they're lucky
I'm just cruising
But if I'm not
They'll be losing
Their dignity
A body part
Or maybe I'll
Just steal their heart
But what I want
I simply take
And I don't care
Whose heart I break
It's all my way
I call the shots
And what I want
If you have got
I'll just take it
All for my own
And I have got
A heart of stone
So don't expect
Apologies
If I want it
It goes to me
The only rule
That I play by
Is that for me
Myself, and I
There are no rules
No wrongs, or rights
Just fulfillment
And sweet delights
Like I told you
I'm a bad girl
I'm in control
I rule my world
It's just too bad
That you can't be
Exciting or
As hot as me

Through The Eyes Of A Stranger

I was sitting on a bench in the mall
Just waiting for you
When a stranger sat down beside me
We struck up a conversation
Just small talk to kill the time
Watching people as they walked by
And making comments about them as they did
Their clothes, their walks, their looks
Sometimes compliments, sometimes not
When I heard him give a low whistle
And say, "That's the most beautiful woman I've ever
  seen!"
I turned to look, and it was you
And I saw you through his eyes
And it struck me anew, just how right he was
You are so very beautiful
And as you reached us, I stood
And took your hand as we walked away
Nodding goodbye to my brief companion as I did
And realizing for the first time, in a long time
How very lucky I am that you chose me
